AOPA membership would represent about 2/3rds of US Pilots.

Really? I thought I recalled from somewhere that AOPA membership
included roughly 1/2 of US pilots.

They did. When there were fewer members. There are about 650,000
certificated pilots in the US. At just over 400,000 AOPA represents a
little less than two-thirds of those pilots. Of course, not all AOPA
members are certificated pilots, but I'm guessing the error due to that is
small.

I suppose I should just give Phil a call - I bet they have these
numbers handy.

If you're a member, you should be able to look he

(possibly non-members can too...I don't know)
